Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
Our rope swings swang over the brook and if you let go you went for a swim and went home full of mud and everything else that was in the brook. Especially if you went further up and saw the sheep and the cows in there. Council kept coming and taking them down and we kept putting them up. Now though where we had the rope swings theres no path because we scudded it away.

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
I used to love playing elastics and stretch could get rather dangerous if you had sandals on and didn't watch were you through the pen knife though.

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
A video version of ping-pong, whose "ball" was a blip that bounced back and forth on screen between two paddles moved up and down by control dials in the hands of the players. pong173.jpg

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
Top selling UK toys of the '70s list.
http://www.toyretailersassociation.co.uk/toty/70.htm Peter Powell stunt kites! Forgot about those. How the Radio 1 DJ found time to invent them, as well as hosting Seaside Special, and his radio show, we'll never know.

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
Have really enjoyed going through this thread. Me and my little brother used to make up all kinds of racing, jumping, smashing contests with Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. Also did some crazy things around the neighbor hood with racing and jumping bikes. Maybe an American thing but we used to set up tons of little plastic army men and play war !
When we'd ask me mum to buy us plastic machine guns and revolvers, bows and arrows, she tell us to use a stick and your imagination. It actually help us be quite creative (probably more so then she would of like  ). Funnt thing when I ran into the house bleeding out my eye after my little brothers friend hit me right in the eye with a projectiled stick. It was a great shot but we all still got in trouble. Ah the simple life eh?My sisters shared an easy bake oven, some Barbies, and had their own sticks! Brian Oh yeah, forgot to mentioned the infamous erector set!!!! But that was my big brothers'

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
Just found my favourite board game from the '70s. Haunted House. Fantastic. You had to put a ball bearing down the chimney, and it was down to chance which room it came down into, and made things happen, like an axe falling on you.
